Formscan - TOMMIE GUN showed sterling qualities to face down a challenge when he made a winning start over hurdles at Southwell last month and could be difficult to overhaul with a similarly determined effort here. A 6lb penalty makes life tougher for the selection, though, with the Gary Moore-trained Donald Llewellyn suggested as one who could capitalise if the weight becomes an issue on the likely testing ground. Wal Buck's is also considered after his respectable hurdles bow at Carlisle 24 days ago.
